To active all the multipaths, HPUX 11.31 with HP P6000 virtual Storage

Hello All,

While going through the lun_map outputs I found , 4 out of 8 paths are on stand by for a lun. Is it possible to activate all the paths and advisable? How the performance will be? We are using HP P6000 virtual Storage.

Please advise.

bash-4.2# scsimgr lun_map -D /dev/rdisk/disk39

LUN PATH INFORMATION FOR LUN : /dev/rdisk/disk39

Total number of LUN paths = 8 World Wide Identifier(WWID) = 0x600143801259bf5400004000033e0000

This is 100% OK, because the P6000 (EVA) works with ALUA, so only the owner controller works with a certain LUN. The server is aware of this fact and handles the other controller as standby for this certain LUN.

Hope this helps!RegardsTorsten.
